"First World Problems" - Take time to smell the flowers?

[Crazy Dazz]

I often thank God that I was fortunate enough to be born in Australia. When you see the terrible things going on in other parts of the world, we have it pretty good. Not saying there aren't some things we couldn't do better, just that we have a lot to be thankful for.
There have been nights when we had pasta and toast for dinner, but my kids have never actually gone hungry.
We've lost a house to debt, but never actually had to live on the streets. (But spare a thought for those who have.)

But Gees Louise, I wish our governments (and some employers) would lighten up a little. Its hard to chill out and smell the flowers when somebody is chafing your *** over every petty little thing.
(I once got sacked because a workmate left his boots in the middle of the floor, and so I super-glued them under his desk.)

I'm not talking about serious problems of law and order that DO need to be addressed, but about hassling "law-abiding" citizens over trivial issues.
My neighbour put up one of those Marquee type car-shelters over his driveway. His driveway is against my fence, so I'm the only one that could possibly have been affected, but somebody else made a complaint and the council made him take it down.
